For external photon radiation, conversion factors between organ doses and the quantities normally measured in radiation protection were determined experimentally using an anthropomorphic phantom and thermoluminescent dosimeters. The measurements were made for different energies and irradiation geometries. As normalization quantities, the exposure measured in free air and the dose equivalent in soft tissue measured at a personal dosimeter site were used. The results are compared with conversion factors calculated by other authors.
